Icons: Hamlet

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

  (A bit of character assassination) Given that the play has moments of obscurity, even before it tumbles into awkwardness, and admitting further that a character who has to face a bungled plot cannot be held responsible for all his failures, Hamlet truly is pathetic: seeing ghosts and playing hard to get, fleeing to England [...]

Breakneck speed

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

  Fireflies and flowers and mummified pharaohs: everything’s dying with breakneck speed. All of our moments are dying around us; we’re shedding our breath with our skin. Mozart is gone and so is next century; now is the skull within. There are no morals and there is no prayer against or to Entropy. Fireflies and [...]

Full moon (whiskey & wings)

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Gridlock

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

There was road rage and road kill on each slippery stone of the highway to Heaven – and bumper to bumper, drive-by hysterics of mad, gridlocked souls. Oh, the pushing and shoving on the stairway to Heaven; terrible cursing, when soles stepped on fingers; horrible screaming, when the dearly departed fell off. So, my love, [...]

Night and Day: These perfect songs

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

  For R.  I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees.” Pablo Neruda 1) I love the way your colours run through me I love the way your colours run through me; the way your dreams like landscapes grow (like road maps, towers, rivers, trees mushrooming like crazy) inside me, [...]
